When parties in a legal dispute decide to use an alternative dispute resolution process, the question of role of the law and lawyers arises. The lawyers may be in the background as consulting lawyers or may be active participants. In this webinar, Gary Friedman and Catherine Conner will discuss what happens when the lawyers are active participants and present at meetings.

All of us develop and evolve from and by cultural forces in our lives – our family of origin, religion, race, ethnicity, community/country/region, and other organizations or groups in which we are involved. Each of the parties and the conflict professionals bring their unique bag of cultures into room. As conflict professionals, how can we be aware of and honor these cultural forces, especially when they may be exacerbating the conflict? Natalia Lopez-Whitaker, Lacey Wilson and Catherine Conner will discuss the impact of culture on conflict engagement.
After information has been gathered, interests of the parties explored, and options developed, then what? In this webinar, Gary Friedman and Katherine Miller discuss the process of moving to an agreement, including looking at the readiness of the parties, how to create and work with packages, and the dynamics that can flare up.
The gender of the parties and the conflict resolution professional(s) may impact the conflict resolution process and dynamics. In this webinar, Catherine Conner and Gary Friedman discuss the role of the conflict professional in bringing awareness to the effect of gender and addressing dynamics that are related to the gender of the people in the room.
People in conflict often focus on their positions, each person advocating for the solution that they believe is the right and just one. Power and coercion are used to pressure the other person to concede. The discussion revolves around the “issue” at hand, and may ignore the many layers and forces operating below the surface and from the outside. Each person in the conflict is driven by what is important to them on a deeper level and is impacted by familial, cultural, racial, and societal forces, yet these may not be explicitly acknowledged or examined. In this webinar, we focus on race and culture in conflict.
